MANY MOONS AGO (Jones)

We used to meet up in the Royal park
Walk down past the Queen’s House to the Cutty Sark
Grab a bite, drink a pint or two
I never imagined not being with you

We used to catch the number 53 bus
Sit upstairs at the front, just the two of us
People watching and planning what to do
I never imagined not being with you

Then the millennium came, and the millennium went
And life became complicated, there was discontent
Like the Thames rolling by, there was ebb and flow
And we lost touch with each other many moons ago

Meantime in Greenwich, I still walk through the park
Sometimes sit alone thinking by the Cutty Sark
And those times together come back into view
I never imagined not being with you

Now if I go into London, I use the train
Don’t look at anybody, just stare out at the rain
Where I’m really going, I haven’t a clue
I never imagined not being with you

‘Cos the millennium came, and the millennium went
And life became complicated, there was discontent
Like the Thames rolling by, there was ebb and flow
And we lost touch with each other many moons ago
Many moons ago, many moons ago
I close my eyes and picture us many moons ago
